Chapter 831: Changing Ships
The next day after Liang Mo led a hundred elite soldiers, pretending to be people's husbands, and carried the ransom money of 500,000 yuan to a large boat moored at the ferry outside Guangling City, he received another transaction notice from the robbers with carrier pigeons: the ship was to sail away from Guangling and sail down the river to the east.
According to the meaning of Qian Wuliang, at this time, the "black general" was to be released to report to Yang Guang, but Liang Mo believed that the robbers did not specify a specific place and time for the transaction, and it was too early to release the "black general". Because Liang Mo was the top general at the front who presided over the implementation of this operation, although Qian Wuliang was worried that he would report the situation to Yang Guangyu in a delay, he had to obey Liang Mo's wishes.
The big ship loaded with 500,000 ransom money went down the river, and on the third day of leaving Guangling, seeing that the ship was about to arrive at the mouth of the sea, at noon on this day, the general Liang Mo, who was in the cabin with Qian Wuliang closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly heard a sharp eagle cry overhead, and then saw a sergeant come to report: "General, a falcon has fallen on the deck, we shoot it with arrows, and it will not fly away......
"Without my orders, how can you easily expose your hiding!" Liang Mo lowered his face and reprimanded the sergeant who came to report the news, and walked out of the cabin with him.
Sure enough, on the deck dozens of steps away from him in front, there was a snow-white falcon standing with its head high, looking back to see Liang Mo walking out of the cabin, he fluttered his wings vigilantly, but still refused to fly off the deck.
"This is a 'jade claw'!" Liang Mo is also a general who likes to train eagles, and at a glance he recognized that the one standing on the deck in front of him was actually a high-grade jade claw among the "Haidongqing", and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, and at the same time, he deliberately slowed down his pace and approached this "jade claw" step by step.
When he walked to a place only twenty or thirty steps away from the "Jade Claw", he suddenly saw this "Jade Claw" spread its wings and flew towards him.
There were quite a few Sui sergeants standing on the deck, and when they saw this, they all exclaimed: "General, be careful!" ”
Liang Mo lowered his body and set up his stance, preparing to capture this "jade claw" in one fell swoop when it flew over to attack him.
However, to his surprise, this "Jade Claw" didn't seem to have any ill will towards him, spread its wings and circled twice above his head, and suddenly landed lightly on his shoulder, with a cooing cry coming out of his mouth, as if to tell Liang Mo something.
Liang Mo turned his head to look at the "Jade Claw" that fell on his shoulder, only to find that there was a sealed bamboo pipe tied to one of the feet of the "Jade Claw".
"So you're here to deliver the letter for someone!" Liang Mo kindly ** the "jade claw", and raised his hand to untie the bamboo pipe from its feet.
Unexpectedly, he untied the bamboo pipe, and the "jade claw" let out a long roar steeply, rising from his shoulder, and flew quickly in the direction of the sea without looking back, and in a blink of an eye, the figure disappeared into the vast sea and sky.
Liang Mo felt a burst of regret in his heart, deeply regretted that he didn't leave it, looked at the distant figure of the "Jade Claw" and shook his head, then opened the bamboo pipe in his hand, took out a note from it, and unfolded it to look at it.
The note was written in the name of the Great Bodhisattva, and it was only a short line: Tomorrow will be changed, and the foreign money of the sea to the east will be ransomed.
Liang Mo read the note many times, turned around and walked back to the cabin, and after showing the note to Qian Wuliang, he stuffed the note back into the bamboo tube and sealed it, and said calmly to Qian Wuliang: "You can let the eagle go back and report to the prince." ”
Qian Wuliang looked a little excited, and somewhat timid, while promising to release the eagle, he asked Liang Mo worriedly: "The place designated by the robbers to hand over the money is far away from the land, will there be fraud in this?" ”
"Mr. Qian doesn't need to worry, with Liang here, he will never be frightened." Liang Mo watched Qian Wuliang tie the bamboo tube with the note inside to the left foot of the "Black General", accompanied him out of the cabin, and released the "Black General" on the deck to return to Jiankang to report to Yang Guang. ”
Because the robbers only used the Flying Eagle to communicate when Liang Mo and Qian Wuliang's ship was about to arrive at the mouth of the sea, informed them of the final handover place and time, and set the handover place on the sea far from the shore, making it difficult for Liang Mo to expect to get Yang Guang's military support, so he could only rely on the hundred sergeants who followed him to deal with the robbers, waiting for an opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
According to the handover place designated by the robbers, Liang Mo ordered the boatman to sail the boat out of the sea and sail straight to the east.
Compared with the river, the wind and waves on the sea are much stronger, including Qian Wuliang, many Sui army sergeants began to get seasick, weak, vomiting nonstop, Liang Mo saw all this, his heart was full of anxiety and worry.
The large ship had been sailing eastward on the sea for more than a day, and a large ship of similar size was parked in the sea in the distance in the distance by the afterglow of the setting sun on the sea.
"Mr. Qian, there is the robbers' ship ahead, and you have to come forward to negotiate with them in person." Liang Mo retreated to Qian Wuliang and stood still, reminding him.
Qian Wuliang was strong in spirit, put his hand on the pergola, and looked in the direction of Liang Mo's finger, and vaguely saw a small sampan from the big boat in front of him, and sailed towards their boat.
"General, the robbers have sent someone."
"Everyone is back in the cabin and on standby, and no hiding is to be exposed without my orders." Liang Mo immediately gave an order to the sergeant of Sui Xing, and then stretched out his hand to pull up the money and told him, "Don't panic, I'll accompany you to negotiate with them." ”
After about a quarter of an hour, before the sky was completely dark, the small sampan that was put down from the big boat in front of it sailed to the front of the big boat where Liang Mo and Qian Wuliang were sitting, and saw three men holding swords standing on the sampan, among which the first thin man asked loudly to the big boat: "Is Mr. Qian Wuliang on the boat?" Did you bring 500,000 ransoms? ”
Qian Wuliang was bold, and walked to the side of the boat with Liang Mo's support, leaned over to look at the three robbers on the small sampan, and plucked up the courage to reply: "I am Qian Wuliang, are all my people on your boat?" ”
"It's all there, it's all there. The Great Bodhisattva has decreed that all the people on board must immediately disembark and return to shore in our ship. Your ship is ours, our ship is yours, and our deal is finished. The robber on the sampan commanded the money in a non-negotiable tone.
